If you are not sure what to eat talk to your NUT. He/She is a valuable resource. Also, the golden rule: protein first. You can do this!

Will say a prayer for you. You are about to start an awesome journey. Best wishes to you.

Great job! I'm so happy for all of you!

I like Syntrax Nectar: Twisted cherry Chocolate Capuchino 23g protein and no carbs.

I love this thread. It makes me feel normal when I read that there are others that eat carbs and don't get full. I have to stay away from them. It's like a drug once I start it's OVER!

I ditto the others. However, when I eat simple carbs. (which I know I'm not suppose do) I don't get that full feeling but when I eat protein (which you are suppose to eat) then I feel full. This is just my experience. Everyone is different but I thought I would give you another experience. Good luck - it was the best thing I ever did.

My scale is well used. We're both crazy!

My rule of thumb is more than 80 grams of protein and less than 50 grams of carbs. That's all I count.

When I make the pudding I put it in the milk then stir in the pudding mix. It may be a little less smooth but it doesn't bother me. With the coffee I make the iced coffee then pour in the Protein powder. Coffee has such a strong flavor that it works great for me.

I have to say I really like my unflavored Protein. I put it in SF chocolate pudding and iced coffee. I can't taste anything but pudding or coffee.

1) I'm still always hungry. 2) I still think about food way too much. 3) I crave carbs and sometimes eat too many. 4) I crave carbs. Oh I said that already. 5) I miss Pepsi 6) I weigh myself every day. Love this post! Thanks for starting it!

You look AWESOME!!! Congrats!

I had one but only take a few bites of the bread so I can get the taste then eat the egg.

Re-think eating sweets.

Sweet stuff makes me sweat. So it makes me think eating candy, etc.

Sending you good thoughts and prayers to both of you. You're about to start a great journey.

This question was meant for me! I did it on my own. I wish I didn't have to but I did. I did have someone drop me off and pick me up though. The pain I had was mostly gas but everyone is different. If there is someone to go with you then the support would be great but if not then you can do it!

I'm feeling stronger with every word of support. You guys rock!

Today I was 152lbs. I'm trying Protein shakes only today and tomorrow.

Those words "I support you" feels good to read. Thanks.

Thank you.

I had surgery 10/25/10. I'm not new to the site. I mostly just read the posts. I'm not much of a poster but I am really struggling so I thought I would reach out.

Thanks. You are right. Where is that person? I just re-read my post and I don't feel like that person but I am. I guess I'm just having a hard time. Old habits.

Sorry I asked. It's not a joke. I came here for support not criticism.

Is it possible to stretch out my sleeve? I feel like I have and I really don't want to ask my surgeon of fear he will yell at me for gaining weight back. Does anyone know if you can stretch it out for good. I can eat so many chips, crackers, etc. just like I did before surgery.
